mciExecute function

The mciExecute function sends a command to an MCI device. The device that the command is sent to is specified in the command string.

(Obsolete; retained for backward compatibility.)

Syntax

BOOL mciExecute(
   LPCSTR pszCommand
);

Parameters

• pszCommand
  Pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies an MCI command string.

Return value

Returns TRUE if successful or FALSE if unsuccessful.

Remarks

This function is a simplified version of the mciSendString function. It does not take a buffer for return information, and it displays a message box when errors occur.
